HARRISBURG — The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation has awarded a contract to Dewberry, a privately held professional services firm based in Fairfax, Virginia, to provide engineering and design services for improvements at the intersection of state Route 997 and Tomstown Road in Washington Township.

Dewberry will provide environmental studies, preliminary engineering, final design services and lead a public involvement program to identify stakeholder goals for the improvements.

Work will include developing design schedules for right-of-way acquisition, utility clearance and permit approvals and, according to planners, design will minimize impacts on surrounding property owners and agricultural resources.

“We look forward to assisting PennDOT District 8-0 in support of the community’s vision for growth,” said Dewberry project manager Mark Geiser.

According to project managers, Dewberry’s design will increase the safety of the intersection, meet the needs of anticipated commercial and residential growth and facilitate future plans to improve mobility and reduce congestion in the region.
